ro ALL wIIoM IIMAY ooNnRN:

Be it known that I, `WILLIAM LAMB, of Rochelle, in the oounty'of Ogle, and in the State of Illinois, have i invented certain new andV useful Imprcvementsgin Churns; and do hereby declare that .the following is a full,

clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon. I

In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, `A represents an ordinary dash-churn, and B the handle of the dasher thereof, bothrnade of any desired dimensions to correspond with each other. Onthe side, and -near` the top of the churnl A, are secured by screws, or other convenient device, suitable loops, h h, cach provided with a set-screw. Theloops h hare for affording a convenient fastening or attachment for the adjustable frame-pieces C C., These frame-pieces C C are' made of any suitable material, ordinarily of metal, and either bent or curved a't 'the top, so aste form one'piece, or framed together by a suitable cross-bar, as may be most convenient. Across, 'at anyv required distance above the churn A, are horizontal parallel'bars, D,on or in which is adjusted a suitable shaft, upon which are secured the drive-Wheel E and crank j. yAbove the crossbars D is another cross-bar, F, attached to the uprigbts C C, which I make curved or bent from each' other, and form suitable bearings for a shaft, g. The shaft ghas secured* to one end of it aily-wheel, H, of'suitable dimensions;'and at or near its other end, a small pinion, which meshes with the drive-wheel E. I represents a horizontal bar, pro-videdwth an adjustable loop, l, which makes a round holo at the endthereof, for and in 'which the dash-handle B works. The 1oop` Z is made adjustable, so as to iit any size dash-handle. The bar I is also provided with aslot, through which works 'a set-screw,hwhich fastenis said bar tothe top of the standards C C, for convenience in adjusting said bar to a churn of any size. L represents a metallic clasp-arm, which is also regulatedA by a set-screw, and` may be adjusted upon any part of the dash-handle B, as may be required, and projects therefrom horizontally a suitable distance, and works in a clamp, K. K represeiits a metallic clamp, 'providedwith a suitable hole at one end, and is adjusted upon one of the spokes of thc fly-wheel H by.

means of al set=screw` v Byadjusting the clasp-arm L in the eye oi' the clanip K, and applying power to the crank j, motion is communicated tp the- {1y-,wheel H, and thereby to the said clamp K, and thence, by means of said clasp or adjust-A able'arm L, to the dash B, Awhich istherebygiven a rotary or Winding motion, aswell'als vertical motion,`and thus more complete agitation oi the cream can be obtained than by any other` known device. The clamp K, being adjustable, may be secured von the spoke at any desired distance from the centre of'^ the tidy-wheel H, and thereby the lengthof vertical stroke of the dasber B may be conveniently regulated.

4Having'thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Iatcnt, is-

The adjustable clamp K, in combination with the wheel'H and claspL, the several partsA being constructed and operating substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I `claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 27th day of January, 1868.y
